The Roanoke Valley Girls Softball League U14 All-star team lost 16 to 10 to Cashie Monday night in the 2016 Little Tarheel League District 7 tournament in Camden, but still earned an invite to the State tournament in two weeks in the Western part of NC.

Cassidy Dickens and Elizabeth Colston pitched on the mound for the Roanoke Valley team.

Roanoke Valley coach Chuck Oliver stated, "Again errors in the first and second innings and timely base hits by cashie giving cashie a 9 run lead after 2 innings played a role. The Roanoke Valley bats came to life in the 3rd thru 7th innings, but to late."

At the plate for the Roanoke Valley:  Cassidy Dickens went 3 for 4, Elizabeth Colston went 2 for 3, Kelsey Bierbauer went 1 for 4, Kaitlin Long went 2 for 3, Taylor Kelly went 3 for 4, Mackenzie Richardson went 2 for 4, Courtney Rogerson went 1 for 3, and Brianna Parrott went 1 for 3.
